Client History: CDW's GetEdFunding - GetEdFunding.com CDW-G, together with their marketing consultant, came to Cuesta with an idea about how they could make the lives of educators who were seeking funding opportunities easier. They were looking to build a fully comprehensive, easy-to-use Website that would allow educators and education non-profits to find grants by a number of very specific categories, including the ability to search national or State-specific grants by subject, grade level, focus and more.

The backend of the system needed to be powerful and easy-to-use for their marketing professionals who were new to Website management at the time. They required a site that would display certain opportunities to any visitor, but only allow registered users to access the complete database of hundreds or thousands of grants. The site was so successful in it's first year that it was awarded a Beacon Award by the AEP. A prestigious award such as this, received after only 8 months of operation, reflects history in the making.
